I think the PPro will be on my wishlist (along with the N90) for next year's racket purchases. Unless the Revelation surpasses the PPro.

You should probably decide whether a stiff or medium shaft suits you better - while I haven't had a chance to test the PPro, reviews are very positive indeed. And while the Revelation PT is excellent, it's (probably) a pretty different racket than the PPro.

For me, it would be a decision of control vs. power, the medium stiff Revelation being more powerful than a really stiff racket like the PPro, and since I can always get more control with greater string tensions, I'd take the Revelation over the PPro. Keep in mind that the Revelation's "medium" differs from the Yonex or Victor "medium". While I can just feel the Revelation bend on big smashes, I can feel the BS12 bend (at least) just as much on round-the-head wrist-smashes. Panda's medium is more like Yonex' "stiff" (as my Rev is stiffer and way more stable than the ZS, which is labeled stiff)...

Also, the Revelation still needs to get finalized so let's see if you actually get that choice soon

According to some of you guys, the PPro seems to be pretty stiff.
Would it be safe to say that the PPro and the Victor Bravesword 10 are similar rackets in terms of specs? (stiffness, balance, frame...) If anyone is lucky enough to have tried both Thanks

Dont have the BS10 but compared to MX70, just a tad less stiff. But there's something special about the frame that gives it a very nice crisp feel.

As long as the PPro is not x-stiff like the MX80...I think I'll be fine. I'm gonna wait for the Revelation reviews before committing to one Panda racket to buy.

I'm gonna go with the VT-ZF and N90 (future buy) as my singles racket. And the MX-JJS (ordered and hopefully I gel with it) and a Panda racket for doubles.

I have the N90II as well. I use it as a singles racket (when I'm tired) or doubles racket (when playing with feathers...but I lack the oomph in my smashes with it).

ZS is a piece of noodle stiff compared to any other racket! . Don't know why Yonex even labels it as stiff ...

I know. But other 'stiff' Yonex rackets are also softer than other brands' stiff models. I guess PP 'stiff' is the equivalent of Yonex 'very stiff'....with Victor somewhere in-between (BS10 is stiffer than pretty much all stiff YY I tried, but not quite as stiff as the UPro/TPro, may they R.I.P.)
